How to protect yourself
We strongly advise you to only deal with financial firms that are authorised by us, and check the Financial Services Register[1] to ensure they are. It has information on firms and individuals that are, or have been, regulated by us.
If you want to check a consumer credit firm that may not yet have been authorised by us, please also check the Interim Permission Register[2].
If a firm does not appear on the Register but claims it does, contact our Consumer Helpline on 0800 111 6768.
There are more steps you should take to avoid scams and unauthorised firms.
You should also be aware that if you give money to an unauthorised firm, you will not be covered by the Financial Ombudsman Service[3] or Financial Services Compensation Scheme[4] (FSCS) if things go wrong.
